Step 1: Create the Sketch

Open up a new sketch in SolidWorks. Use Sketch Tools ------> Sketch Picture. Then choose the photo of the shovel.

Step 2: Outlining the Photo

Then, make lines all around the shape of the shovel. This is simple because this shovel is from Minecraft an is made up of little squares.

Step 3: Extrude

Next, extrude the sketch. To do this go to Features Menu -----> Extruded Boss/ Base.

Step 4: Save and Print

Now that that is done, save your part as a normal SolidWorks part. After doing that, go to Save As and save it as an STL file. Once this is finished, my job is done. You can go print it on a 3D printer.

Note: If you save it as a DXF file, you will be able to cut it on a plasma cutter or laser blaster, but will not be able to use a MakerBot.
